• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Tyrrier Reven Hollow

    Well, Seir sure seemed very familiar with them. Dave supposed the group that'd met him had told him? If he was the local lord who was supposedly inviting people to his castle to feed on them, then it didn't seem unlikely he was behind shit like the markings in trees, too, if he was now...

    Tyrrier Reven Hollow

    Seir? Dave had vaguely gathered something about a Ninetales by that name from Tyrrier from some of the others, but hell if he remembered any details. He did hope the guy would continue whatever tale had everyone at the tavern so enraptured, though, rather than get distracted exchanging...

    Tyrrier Cornèbre Forest

    The word 'citadel' rang too much of a bell. Dave furrowed his brow. "Wait a minute. Is this the place where... we heard something about a 'vampire'? Some local lord who's taken over?" He padded up to Looker's side. "What I gathered was the Murkrow are acting weird, like they have been all over...

    Tyrrier Cornèbre Forest

    Why... why were multiple people reacting like the name 'Looker' or 'Borker' meant something? Had he missed something? "So, uh, that means you're human?" God, it was still dumb to look at a dog and ask if he was human. "And you're just... investigating, same as us?"

    As soon as the Dog Squad started howling, Dave was hit with the absolute most idiotic urge to join in with them, and God, he could not get out of Forlas fast enough. Dave raised an eyebrow. "I don't know, maybe the patronizing taunts about how 'uncivilized' they are have something to do with...

    Miracle of miracles, Articuno was actually listening, and sounded serious about it. He'd have to see how serious they really were in practice, but this was already a lot more than he'd dared to hope, coming here. He took a deep breath, shaking out his fur against the cold. "Yeah, that sounds...

    Tyrrier Cornèbre Forest

    Yeah, no, Dave didn't like that. Didn't sound like Garnet herself had done anything heinous other than being obnoxious, just being a member of the Covenant (specifically a 'knight', whatever connotations that ultimately had). And being dealt with in whatever manner that frothing loon hopped up...

    Jesus fuck. Way to make their fucking point for them. Everyone else responding with "Well, we saved the world, so there" to the guy complaining that humans acted high and mighty because they saved the world wasn't exactly helping either. "Why do you want her 'handed over'?" he asked instead...

    Tyrrier Cornèbre Forest

    'Skin-thieves'? Was that supposed to be a slur for humans, wearing Pokémon's skin? Jesus. Dave looked skeptically towards Laura at her warning to maintain their cover. Really? They had to play at loyalty to the Covenant now, even to these guys? He hadn't heard all that much about the Vanguard...

    Well, good to know Nolan and his ilk were at least in the minority. Dave shuddered against the cold, shaking flecks of snow from his coat. "That's the thing. If everyone's afraid to speak out against bullshit, people will just spiral off gobbling up whatever simplistic bigotry and easy answers...

    No forcing a Saint to do anything much that they don't care to? Hadn't Moltres come there asking for guidance only to be turned down? Whatever. It sounded like a long fucking time ago, and clearly Articuno wasn't exactly thrilled about how it'd played out. Moltres now was at least improving...

    "Well, if not you personally, aren't you saying the point of the Covenant was meant to be to make sure the powerful use their power for good through the magic of community? Not leaving an anxious mentorless Saint with mental health problems to try to figure shit out on her own after she seeks...

    Well, wasn't that just fucking great. All that effort fighting Matthias and then they just stole the thing anyway. He exhaled through his nose. "Any idea what they might want with it? Clearly not Brisa, since she's not holed up in a dungeon anymore. Anything going on at the Sable Office that's...

    Dave frowned. "You think that's why Matthias tried to kidnap Sparkwright? The Covenant thinks he's bad for society, and you're not pushing him hard enough, so his faction goes let's disappear him? Or do you think they just wanted his invention?" Honestly he liked the Rotom. He'd been nothing...

    "Geneticist, from 'genetics'. It's, uh, the science of inheritable traits and how they work. Greenbough's working on an early iteration, but it's a lot more advanced in my world. I figured the Covenant had some geneticists, actually, given the ARK thing. Creating a chimera Pokémon would be...

    "I mean, I work for her, so yes, I've met her. I'm a geneticist back home myself." 'Distantly descended' probably made sense. She clearly hadn't had any prior understanding of genetics; as far as he could tell she'd just been working it out on her own through her scientific intuition. So...

    Dave squinted at Articuno, the many words and answers that had been forming in his head temporarily shunted to the side. "Hang on. Professor Greenbough is a member of the Covenant? She's not human, is she?"

    Dave blinked at Articuno's story. This whole thing, the elite society of humans with pretenses of greatness, originated as a support group for superpowered misfits because they were ostracized? It sounded fucking ridiculous, and yet. That was exactly what'd happened to Brisa according to Gerome...

    Novelux Teardrop Island

    Matthias had maintained he was working against the Covenant from within. So was he working against the Sable Office? Or was the Sable Office as a whole working against the rest of the Covenant? Was it a good idea to bring that up to Articuno? "So this Sable Office, the intelligence department...
